If you think a #neurodivergent student "has improved", it's usually #masking (costly, exhausting, unsustainable) or the result of a classroom that finally reduced stress.

One is harmful, the other is support. Only one should be our goal.

How exactly are #Mastodon and #Bookwyrm interoperable? What #data or interactions can flow between the two via #ActivityPub?

If the #EU is serious about #digitalsovereignty and #privacy, #Mastodon is a meaningful step, but also a delicate one.

Supporting the #fediverse shouldn’t mean centralising it, capturing it, or over-regulating it. The real challenge is to fund capacity, standards, and sustainability without undermining #decentralization, pluralism, or community governance.

#HBO #Chernobyl draws heavily on Svetlana Alexievich's #oralhistory book Voices from Chernobyl.

That's exactly why oral #history matters: it preserves how events are experienced, not just how they're later reduced to "what happened". #Testimony keeps the human truth in the record.

Not diagnosing a kid doesn’t mean they won’t notice they’re different, it just means they’ll think they’re struggling because they’re stupid or broken, not because their brain works differently.

Basically, #bluesky is the most centralised decentralised platform

A colleague gave me an old Macbook Pro 9.2, which was too slow even to open Safari or read emails...

After upgrading the ram from 4 to 16gb, changing the old HDD for a new SSD, installing #Fedora... I made a Zoom call while I had 20 tabs open on Firefox, with Nextcloud, Thunderbird, Telegram and Emacs open in the background.

But the thing that amazed me was the strange sense of #empowerment (?) I felt during the process.

One of the most beautiful moments of liberation in my life was when I started to give myself permission not to finish books that I was not interested in or liked.

I wonder where that sort of moral imperative came from that urged me to continue and made me feel guilty if I didn't... school, education, myself?
